Welcome to Fourth Grade

I am so excited to welcome you to an exciting year in fourth grade. Take a look around our classroom and be prepared to have fun while learning. I have taught at Willow Canyon for 17 years and have been in fourth grade 6 years. I look forward to meeting each one of you and learning more about each of you. 

Love,
Mrs. Morrison

Snowshoeing at the Spruces

The weather was a bit iffy, but we bundled up and headed up the canyon. It ended up being a great day, and not TOO cold. The kids enjoyed learning some great things about the mountain/forest habitat, while learning to snowshoe. I couldn't have done it without my four wonderful parent volunteers. Some of those kids could have stayed forever having fun in the snow. It was a great day.

Valentine's Day Party

We had a great Valentine's Day. Played a fun game, opened our LOVE NOTES and enjoyed some healthy eating. Love all my fourth graders!

Visits from The Living Planet Aquarium and Museum of Natural History

We were so fortunate to have two special presentations about rocks and the water cycle. Both presentations gave the kids a hands-on experience of two of our science curriculums. They were amazing and the kids learned so much.

Making Fossils

We concluded our fossil unit by making fossils. It was a dirty job, but someone had to do it.

Digging for Fossils

Learning to be a paleontologist--digging for fossils.

Native American Homes

Every year I always think that the homes can't get better than ones I have had in previous years. And, I am always wrong. The homes are amazing. I have such creative fourth graders and supportive parents. Great job!

More Halloween Fun

First County Road Trip

Check out our first county road trip that was completed and presented. Way to go Brynn! You are amazing.

Halloween Fun

We had a great Halloween. Besides having some great fun planned by the PTA and our great room volunteers, the weather was fabulous and we were able to be out and enjoy the sun.

Sizzling September Sights

Gorgeous day at Silver Lake. We learned so much about our mountain/forest environment, the animals that live there and their adaptations.

Before the fun began!

After the run, tired and wet!

Breaking News! School is Back!

Let's "KICK" September Good-Bye

It is hard to believe that September is behind us. Here are a few highlights as we ended the month.

We enjoyed our first reading incentive-apples and caramel. Congratulations to everyone for doing an excellent job on all your facts and feelings. Keep the reading going. We want to be a class of "READERS!"

We started a three week karate/respect program. We are excited to have Master Lechtenberg come and teach us about respect and self-defense. All fourth graders are learning about the "7 magic words of respect" and the "3 rules of concentration."

I enjoyed my first "auction lunch" with these two great fourth graders. They spent their hard earned money on lunch from Burger King.

Fun Run

We had a great time at our PTA fun run fundraiser this past week. We enjoyed warming up with a few aerobic moves and then we all headed out on the run. Enjoy the before and after pictures, because the kids were too fast for me to take pictures during the run. It was the perfect day with perfect weather. A big thank you to the PTA for setting this up. The kids LOVED it.
